STAGE REPORT
On a day of heavy rolling roads and yet more crashes which put what had gone before in the shade, the peloton limped into Saint Flour physically and mentally shredded.

A big crash on the second descent of the stage accounted for several leading riders, with Pharma-Lotto duo Jurgen Van den Broeck and Fredrik Willems both suffering broken collar-bones. Astana's Alexandre Vinokourov, broke an elbow and right leg and and Garmin-Cervélo's Dave Zabriskie broke a wrist.
Later, a terrible move by a car in the race convoy took out Sky's Juan Antonio Flecha and Vacansoleil-DCM's Johnny Hoogerland, the former hitting the tarmac hard on his back, the latter flipping onto a wire fence at the side of the road. Both finished the stage but with numerous wounds.
Flecha and Hoogerland's crash was all the more shocking because it was so avoidable. They were in a relatively small group of five, well clear of the main pack with some 30km to go, so both were robbed of a great opportunity to win a stage
At the finish, David Millar was interviewed about the accidents in this year's race and put the blame on the increased speed of the race, which he ascribed to the general raising of the standard of competitors and the improvement in equipment. Green jersey man Phillippe Gilbert had a simpler explanation, believing the increased media coverage of the race was merely making the accidents more visible and accessible.
STAGE 9 ON TWITTER
On Twitter, the day had opened with a nice observation from Ben Swift:
I guess the rain is the biggest supporter of this years tour.
If a Yorkshire-man complains about the rain, it must be bad!
But once the stage was out of the way David Millar opened up with:
The seat next to me on the bus ride home was eerily empty. Shocking witnessing DZ flip the barrier. Missing the nutbag already. He's ok.
Geraint Thomas, who had another excellent day, finishing in the first main group on the stage and moving into 32nd place overall. He initially commented on his own condition:
I can safely say I am glad we have a rest day tomorrow. Feeling the last 9 days now!!
But as the news of Flecha's adventure came through his thoughts turned to the dangers of racing in the 2011 Tour:
The way this race is going... It'll be more of a case of last man standing, well riding!!
For all those asking Flecha is ok. He's a classic man, what you expect!! Looking forward to round 10
Mark Cavendish's thought processes followed a similar trajectory, initially reflecting his own suffering:
Doesn't matter that there were nearly 200 other riders suffering the same ordeal, I felt seriously sorry for myself a good few times today.
Before broadening out to wider points about the competence of people on the race:
Anyone involved with a bike race (including riders) should take written&practical tests before getting licenses. Hope all who crashed are ok
Ben Swift's final tweets of the day neatly summed things up - and being a bike racer, it was the lost opportunity to win which seemed to bother him most:
OUCH that was on hell of a hard day.
Terrible what happend to Flecha what am hearing that car driver needs a serious talking 2. Flecha is ok. shame as I think he would of won.
For Sky Team boss Dave Brailsford's measured reaction to the events of the stage, have a look at the latest video on the Teams website.
